Why mcdaniel rhymes the way it does
The phonology of mcdaniel is a two-syllable core: the long /iห/ (/iห/), then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 44 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 193, assonance 3,826, and consonance 827. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Mcdaniel reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
